The Fujitsu LifeBook E8210, the latest in the company's line of business-oriented thin-and-light notebooks, is by no means exciting, flashy, or inexpensive, but it does offer serious performance and security at a competitive price.

The Fujitsu E8210 performs as well as the more expensive Dell D820, totally outperforms the Micro Express EL80, and has more security features than the cheaper HP nx7400. Corporate buyers looking for a 15.4-inch, wide-screen notebook should consider the Fujitsu LifeBook E 8210 alongside the best offerings from Dell, HP, and others.

The Fujitsu LifeBook 8210 looks a bit like a cross between an Apple MacBook and a Lenovo ThinkPad. It's all business black on the outside, but opening the E8210 notebook reveals a silvery-white interior. Measuring 14.2 inches wide, 10.2 inches deep, and 1.4 inches thick, the LifeBook E8210 is just a few tenths of an inch different in size than the Micro Express EL80, the Dell Latitude D820, and the HP Compaq nx 7400.

The Fujitsu E 8210 matches the HP Compaq nx7400's 5.7-pound weight, while the Dell Latitude D 820 is 0.8 pound heavier and the Micro Express EL 80 is 1.3 pounds heavier. With its power adapter, the LifeBook E8210 weighs a portable, but not comfortable, 6.9 pounds.
